Edited by the Buildingtalk editorial team Sep 9, 2010

The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) has been confirmed as Event Partner at the Built Environment Solutions and Technologies Show (BEST).

The CIOB has more than 45,000 members worldwide and is considered the international voice of the building professional.

The CIOB joins a list of partners that are already committed to the BEST show; Dyson, Barratt Homes, Birmingham Local Education Partnership, Network Rail, Crossrail, BAA and Land Securities.

BEST, which replaces Interbuild Specifier and incorporates the Infrastructure structure show, takes place from 18-20 October 2010 at the NEC in Birmingham.

A highlight of the event is the six free seminar programmes, covering topics including retrofit and low carbon, as well as innovations within the residential, education and commercial property sectors.

Chartered member status is recognised internationally as the mark of a skilled professional in the construction industry, and CIOB members share a common commitment to achieving and maintaining the highest possible standards within the build environment.

The CIOB will also participate in the show's Low Carbon themed seminar programme, with Alan Crane, vice president, speaking on Monday 18 October.

Through his presentation, 'Calculating carbon footprint - how realistic and accurate can you be?', Alan will review the results of the CIOB embodied carbon study, and its implications.
